				| Cast-iron turbo?  All I've ever seen were aluminum or chromed (maybe cast-iron underneath?) _________________

				| Hell, I never even had a turbo in any of my cars...started out 10 years ago when I had a pipe dream of installing one in the 98 Camaro I had and we see where that went...lol! _________________

 You know it's true though because you can do the math.
   
 Speaking of below average, I've been hanging out at a F150 forum recently and I've noticed as a whole that group is waaaaaay less knowledgeable about car stuff (and technical stuff in general) than the F250 crowd I used to hang with when I had my Superduty.  I guess it's a reminder that to many people the F150 is just a glorified car and I might as well be hanging out at a Ford Taurus forum.  I swear within a week there will be a post like, "Truck is telling me to change oil.  What do I do?"

				| Ha! Is this the Ford Truck Enthusiast forum? Those guys are idiots. 
 Hell, last night I posted on TGO again. That's how much of a masochist I am. I should log in real quick and see if I've been put on probation yet!
   
 BTW, in their defense, the F-150 is a car. The word "truck" doesn't start til around the heavy 3/4 ton mark. Hell, according to your friendly Uncle the PT Cruiser is a f***ing half-ton truck.

				| Dang.  You got that one closed quick.

 I have to admit that was pretty funny....
 
 The first is that on your build thread there is no build. You bought a car and washed it, and then bought and engine. That's not a build, that's what you get done on Saturday before lunch.

				| I joined FTE when I first bought the Mercury many moons ago because the guys that hang out on the FE forum there are fairly knowledgeable. When I bought my ill-fated F-150 I jumped over to the box-nose forum and found a whole world of idiots. 
 There was a thread on whether or not it was a good idea to release the emergency brake quickly that went on for several pages! I had a guy vehemently argue with me after I told him I thought it was a bad idea to route all his aftermarket accessory wiring directly to the battery posts instead of using a junction block.

 I use underscores because in my youth I hand-wrote HTML and I got tired of typing out the codes for space all the time.

 Or maybe he wanted to see if you'd ever get the BBC running and then he died of old age.
